How would you describe
yourselves?
We have been playing together for... well, years. We have a fluidity, which is reflected in our repertoire, spanning and fusing genres together to create a heady, high energy and frankly ballsy experience.

Zero pretensions, Bobby and Jemima are all about
the joy and love of music. Multi-instrumentalist 'Bob' has a guitar style which
seems to have hitch-hiked Route 66 as a daily commute for the last 60 years.
Providing not only the backbone of the songs but fleshing them out and dressing
them in bell-bottoms whilst Jemima's deep and soulful vocals arrest attention,
take it in for questioning and release it having been dealt a good spanking.
The band are nearing completion of a debut album. Keep an eye out.
Who are your main
influences musically?
Our influences range from real old school blues, soul and funk and occasionally folk based music, dichotomy heaven! We are still trying to figure that one out. We are inspired by people like James Jameson, in fact all the funk brothers, Steve Gadd, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Betty Davis, Carole King and many many more.. too many to list!

What do you hope to
achieve in music?
To us it's all about being able to keep making music, without having to get a real job! Also to keep trying to improve all aspects of our music.

If you could choose
one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why?
We only have a couple of original songs recorded
at present. One of them is 'Hard Kinda Woman', which we performed for Jamie
Cullum in London
Where can we find out
more about your music?
